Daifuku is a popular Japanese confection consisting of mochi, a glutinous rice cake, filled with a sweet paste, most commonly red bean (anko) or white bean. Variations may include fillings like fruit, custard, or green tea-flavored paste. Soft and chewy on the outside with a delicate sweetness inside, Daifuku is enjoyed as a dessert or snack in Japanese cuisine and has gained international recognition. While mochi is low in fat and cholesterol, Daifuku is primarily a source of carbohydrates due to the rice and sugar content, making it energy-dense. The red bean filling provides small amounts of fiber, iron, and some antioxidant properties. However, it is high in sugar, which limits its nutritional benefits if consumed in excess. Daifuku is best enjoyed in moderation as a treat, offering a satisfying combination of texture and flavor rooted in traditional Japanese culinary artistry.
